How could he remember his sins but have no pain or guilt? Because when we repent, we are “born of God.” We become, as the scriptures say, “new creatures” in Christ.
We remember our sins but not the pain or guilt.
Memory of sin is essential for building who we are. Like when my son was baptized and was very worried about what would be lost. Reminds me of the story of the nails leaving holes even after the nails are removed from the fence the damage was done.
Weaknesses and sins are not the same thing, but the atonement can fix them.
Forgive others because it is important to remember that the atonement applies to everyone. It makes me think about how I know that so and so falls short of things so I pray even more because that is what I would want others to do for me if ever I fell short.... Christ's love can not be increased or decreased. And that is EXACTLY how I feel about this, and I know that God loves and will always be there to supply aide when I need it, precisely because I had that thought and am his daughter.
